Thank you once again for the prayers and good thoughts and may I ask that you continue to say a prayer for him now and then. Thanks.

Dear Chris -- I am so happy to know that Paddy is still "kicking"! I notice that you first posted about him in September last year, so for him to still have a good quality of life six months later is excellent.

I would be very interested to know what medication he has been on, because my 15 year old terrier mix has been diagnosed with heart failure and water in the lungs (per xray). He has been taking Lasix and Enalapril for 2 weeks now and is doing better, but his breathing is still somewhat labored. I am concerned that he should be taking some antibiotic, but the vet has not prescribed it. I wonder -- was Paddy treated with antibiotic?

My 'lil Shorty is still happy and has a good quality of life, and I'm hoping that with proper management he will have as much more time with us as possible. Paddy's story gives me hope. God bless!
